starburst

Top (worn like this)- Marshalls; Skirt, Shoes, Belt, Earrings & Rings- Thrifted; Necklace- RW&COAfter a week of wearing nothing but black & white I was ready to wear the most colourful outfit I could conjure up (that was still work appropriate which is always the challenge). I decided to showcase my $2 skirt that I recently thrifted with my versatile striped top for an ensemble that is both mix & match.

No that's not a white prison yard behind me, it's the atrocious eyesore that lines the perimeter of our new home! Since replacing fences is quite costly, we are thinking of planting hedges in front for added privacy and to improve the aesthetics (because as much as we love the house, the fence was almost enough to deter us from buying it in the first place!) I guess you could say we judge a house by its fence...

I feel like a starburst (the galaxy version) in this outfit (Mmm now I'm craving Starburst candies, too bad they're only veggie friendly in the UK, dratted gelatin you ruin all my fun!)

so you're telling me that somewhere out there, there is a veggie-friendly starburst? i must find them!! i am happy that they just made skittles veggie-friendly! anyways, i love your outfit. the colors of the shirt and skirt are perfect together! we have an ugly fence in our backyard, too and i'm thinking of growing vines on it to cover it up!

Yay for striped tops and floral skirts! Great minds think alike, but I love how different our outfits turned out. Yours has such a great country club chic vibe. I'm freaking DYING to hear about your new house! Next week can't come fast enough.

I like your new thrifted skirt your top! Definitely DO the hedges. when we moved in our house 4 yrs ago, we had a yucky view of the middle school dumpster behind our backyard fence. now they have added 2 more dumpsters, but we can only see them if we carefully look between the greenery. too bad we can't silence the garbage man. :p i loathe gelatin.
